Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) and Musafir.com have kicked off an exciting marketing campaign during which visitors to City Centre Deira Mall, Dubai get to experience the Maldives through virtual reality (VR). The campaign activities will be held from May 10-16.
MMPRC said a VR booth will be set up at a designated location of the City Centre Deira Mall, under the campaign, where visitors can have a VR experience of the Maldives. The beautiful sights of the Maldives will be showcased through the campaign, aiming to inspire more people from Dubai and the Middle East to visit the country.
Furthermore, two targeted social media posts and a contest post will be uploaded on Musafir.com’s Facebook and Instagram accounts as part of the campaign. Stories related to the Maldives will be shared on both platforms every day of the campaign and emails with information or advertisements of the destination will also be circulated to the Musafir.com database, exceeding 300,000 members.
